Total Lung Care Center

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the world, and the number one cause of cancer death each year in both men and women. But it’s important to realize that a diagnosis of lung cancer is far from a death sentence. Our multidisciplinary teams of oncologists, radiologists, nurses, social workers and other health professionals have years of experience diagnosing and treating lung cancer patients, using all of the latest treatments and technologies at their disposal. And our comprehensive approach to treatment means that we don’t just focus on the cancer, we focus on the whole person—body, mind and spirit—from the time of diagnosis through survivorship.

Middlesex Hospital provides patients in our Middlesex, Shoreline, and surrounding communities access to high-quality medical and surgical oncology services, with the personal touch of a Nurse Navigator to coordinate care and guide you through your lung cancer treatment and care journey.
